A skier moving at 4.75 m/s encounters a long, rough, horizontal patch of snow having a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.220

with her skis. how far does she travel on this patch before stopping?

First we need to find the acceleration of the skier on the rough patch of snow.
We are only concerned with the horizontal direction, since the skier is moving in this direction, so we can neglect forces that do not act in this direction. So we have only one horizontal force acting on the skier: the frictional force, \mu m g. For Newton's second law, the resultant of the forces acting on the skier must be equal to ma (mass per acceleration), so we can write:
ma=-\mu m g
Where the negative sign is due to the fact the friction is directed against the motion of the skier.
Simplifying and solving, we find the value of the acceleration:
a=-(0.220)(9.81 m/s^2)=-2.16 m/s^2

Now we can use the following relationship to find the distance covered by the skier before stopping, S:
2aS=v_f^2-v_i^2
where v_f=0 is the final speed of the skier and v_i=4.75 m/s is the initial speed. Substituting numbers, we find:
S=- \frac{v_i^2}{2a}=- \frac{(4.75 m/s)^2}{2(-2.16 m/s^2)}=5.23 m

Consider the points below. P(1, 0, 1), Q(−2, 1, 4), R(6, 2, 7) (a) Find a nonzero vector orthogonal to the plane through the poi
kozerog [31]

Answer:

a) (0, -33, 12)

b) area of the triangle : 17.55 units of area

Explanation:

<h2>a) </h2>

We know that the cross product of linearly independent vectors \vec{A} and \vec{B} gives us a nonzero, orthogonal to both, vector. So, if we can find two linearly independent vectors on the plane through the points P, Q, and R, we can use the cross product to obtain the answer to point a.

Luckily for us, we know that vectors \vec{A} = \vec{P}-\vec{Q} and \vec{B} = \vec{R} - \vec{Q} are living in the plane through the points P, Q, and R, and are linearly independent.

We know that they are linearly independent, cause to have one, and only one, plane through points P Q and R, this points must be linearly independent (as the dimension of a plane subspace is 3).

If they weren't linearly independent, we will obtain vector zero as the result of the cross product.

So, for our problem:

\vec{A} = \vec{P} - \vec{Q} \\\\\vec{A} = (1,0,1) - (-2,1,4)\\\\\vec{A} = (1 +2,0-1,1-4)\\\\\vec{A} = (3,-1,-3)

\vec{B} = \vec{R} - \vec{Q} \\\\\vec{B} = (6,2,7) - (-2,1,4)\\\\\vec{B} = (6 +2,2-1,7-4)\\\\\vec{B} = (8,1,3)

\vec{A} \times  \vec{B} = (A_y B_z - B_y A_z) \  \hat{i} - ( A_x B_z-B_xA_z) \ \hat{j} + (A_x B_y - B_x A_y ) \ \hat{k}

\vec{A} \times  \vec{B} = ( (-1) * 3 - 1 * (-3) ) \  \hat{i} - ( 3 * 3 - 8 * (-3)) \ \hat{j} + (3 * 1 - 8 * (-1) ) \ \hat{k}

\vec{A} \times  \vec{B} = ( - 3 + 3 ) \  \hat{i} - ( 9 + 24 ) \ \hat{j} + (3 + 8 ) \ \hat{k}

\vec{A} \times  \vec{B} = 0 \  \hat{i} - 33 \ \hat{j} + 12 \ \hat{k}

\vec{A} \times  \vec{B} =(0, -33, 12)

<h2>B)</h2>

We know that \vec{A} and \vec{B} are two sides of the triangle, and we also know that we can use the magnitude of the cross product to find the area of the triangle:

|\vec{A} \times  \vec{B} | = 2 * area_{triangle}

so:

\sqrt{(-33)^2 + (12)^2} = 2 * area_{triangle}

\sqrt{1233} = 2 * area_{triangle}

35.114= 2 * area_{triangle}

17.55 \ units \  of \ area =  area_{triangle}

Pitch marks are the invitations left by the ball when they fall on the green
Kipish [7]
You can mark, lift and clean a ball on the green, but it's a violation to do so when another ball is in motion, as your ball might influence the outcome of that stroke. You can also mark and clean your ball in some instances when it's off the green: cleaning it, for example, just to the point where you can identify it.
